Yamaha R15 V3 Carbon Fibre Wrap In India: Here's How I Did It
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 08. 2024
- When I bought the 2018 Yamaha R15 V3, the goal was simple. Ride it on the race track, gain enough skills and apply them to my bigger bike. Little did I know that I would fall in love with this mini-supersports package so much that I would end up customising it to this extent.
I have made a lot of mechanical upgrades to it already (documented as videos on this channel), and now it is time to up the ante cosmetically as well. I love the Yamaha Blue, but I think instead of glossy black, it goes better with carbon fibre finish.
I got all black parts of my bike wrapped in carbon fibre vinyl. That includes the front fairing, front mudguard, all the area around the instrument console, the black strip that runs across the spine of the fuel tank, the panel behind and under the pillion seat and even the little rear mudguard.
Material used: Generic carbon fibre vinyl wrap (Quality is not bad, but in no way is it comparable to 3M wraps)
The cost: Rs, 2000, including labour
I was very happy with the wrap, but after a point, it started to come off from a couple of rough plastic edges. I was warned about that when I got it done - that it won’t stick well to non-glossy, rough surfaces, but I still insisted and got it done.
I got a lot of queries on CZcams, Instagram and Facebook about this wrap, so I thought why not get it fixed and make a video for you guys as well.
And so, here it is.
I’ve tried to keep it simple and linear. The video is pretty much self-explanatory.
But let me tell you about how the wrap is holding up, since I am uploading this video a month and a half after shooting it.
It is doing just fine. Hasn’t come off from anywhere, and the secret to that is all the edges that don’t show, put black electrical tape on them. That keeps the wrap extremely secure. It should, in my opinion, last a year, easily.
I would recommend hiring a guy who has some experience doing this, otherwise you will end up with a lot of air bubbles and rough finish. It is not very expensive either.
I hope I have covered most queries about this carbon fibre wrap in this video. If you have read this description this far, please leave me feedback on the video. The edit, the music, the pacing, the structure, the content. It would mean a lot to me and help me improve leaps and bounds. I am relatively new at this. Using my phone and GoPros to shoot and basic iMovie software to edit (which I absolutely don’t know how to).

Thank you so much for your time. Cheers
Honestly your accent is much better than most of the Bollywood stars. By the way R15 V3 looks stunning. NS rider here. Stay safe ✌️
Edit: New sub 😁
Thanks Lio. Have you ridden the R15 V3? If so, what's your take on it in comparison to the NS200.
Abhinav Bhatt No I haven't and that saddens me. None of my friends have V3. Mostly ns200, KTM and V2.
It is the opposite for me. None of my friends have Pulsars or KTMs :)
Lol let's switch sides 😁
Hahahhahah. Sure. Why not.
Will definitely help people who are in two minds about investing in carbon fibre. Good work!
Thank you, Amrita :)
Hats off to you for replying to each and every comment, even those who have been answered in the video.
You are doing a great job!
Hi Shamsheer. If someone has taken the pains to watch what I have to say and have a question, it is only fair that I answer their queries. Thank you for the kind words. Cheers :)
Bcz of this kind words I'm subcribed ua channel now...hv grt succs..
Thank you for subscribing, Vishwa :)
I gotta say man this is some fine craftsmanship for the money that's being charged i got my front forks wrapped from Karol Bagh and they did a pretty sloppy job but this right here is some precision work will try to get the wrap replaced from this guy
Sure, man. This guy is pretty decent. He wraps cars, superbikes as well. Cheers
Brother actually you deserves more thn million subscribers❤
One like for the beautiful way u r giving him credit.
Re-Visiting ur old video to keep the memory fresh.
🙏
The motorcycle looks epic no doubt.
But your beautiful gesture of properly giving the credits to Mr. Sachin makes me feel sooo good! ❤️
I wish there was a Sachin in Mumbai, too 😉😭❤️
Bro u r the real biker..u care alot for ur bike and spend so much money for customisation...☮️
Thanks Uday. However, I would like to make a point: a real biker is one who rides responsibly and doesn't get into my bike better than yours argument. Anyone can spend money on customisation :)
@@abhinavbhatt right said bro..
Had been waiting for this video from ages! Yes after wrapping the entire front panel, it looks meaner. Great mod for a great motorcycle. Love it. ❤️
Thanks, Ayan. Hope the wait was worth it. Cheers
Absolutely worth it.
Bike looks beautiful after the wrap on bro😍❤️
Thanks buddy. More will come soon. Cheers
English sunke Sachin bhai Khush hogye 😄.
The effort that he put in was great commendable
Subscribing because of the appreciation given in the end👍
Should always give credit where it is due. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt A supreme quality only seen in the wise🍻
🙏
He did a great job and ur ride looks lit
Thanks, Ashish :)
Really stands out and attracts a lot of eyes
especially that aggressive look
Yeah man. Looks much better in person. Stands out.
I love the finish of the Carbon fibre wrap and I even like the Bike Yamaha R1 5 V3 is the best bike in Indian market even I am getting the same bikes soon hopefully just because of your channel
That's some high praise, man. Thank you :)
I have somewhat similar carbon fiber cosmetics on my R15V2. I got it done in Karolbagh around 2-3 months back in just ₹800 but the amount of work done is much lesser than urs. I must say they did a pretty good job!
Thanks, Ahmad. Why don't you share some pics/videos of your ride. Would love to see. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt Im already working on a new video of my last ride. I post pics/ vids on my insta account: @moto_wolf_ ✌️😄
Cool. Will check it out.
@@abhinavbhatt Thanks a lot mate😃
Finally alot about wraps thanks alot
Most welcome, Donald.
In thunder grey wrap the red parts with matte black and it'll look sick😍😍
I'm sure. Hopefully, someone will try and share a video.
I love the way you thanks labours which we don't see in now days bikers.
Must give credit where it is due :)
At last it came..thanks for keeping our words..
Nice video😘😘😘😘
Cheers
Thanks Osman. I still have to shoot a walkaround video :)
@@abhinavbhatt sure 😊
Bro I love your Bike u have maintained it very well and the modifications in your Bike is just amazing that nobody has done till now in it's new R15 v3 !!!!!!!! 😍😍😘😘🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks, Rohit. This is just the start. There is a lot more incoming. Watch out for it. Cheers
Definitely bike looks angry. Grrrr. It resembles the same black color v3 with red doom. Good going.
Thanks, Saquib :)
Great video man. You get the r15 v3 serviced regularly right. So the next time can you film the entire process and upload it.
It will be useful for all the DIY freaks out there. More over its basic maintenance every v3 owner should be aware of, right?
Hey man. I did film the entire process of my second service which I did not get done at a Yamaha service centre, rather a superbike workshop. I still have to edit the video. Let's see when I get the chance to do that. Cheers
Abhinav Bhatt that would be immensely appreciated
Looks great bro😍
Thanks man :)
Very nice Abhinav.
Thanks, Dinesh :)
Dcv bhai apka naya video kab aa raha he,, i m ur subscriber too
@@ClashWithArthur soon bro
finally this video,best looking v3 out there bro🔥
Thanks, Hashim :)
@@abhinavbhatt i want to wrap my V3 the same how much would it cost ?
For the whole body part to prevent from scratches , i recommend u to do a SERAMIC COATING, your bike will looks shining all day long for 3 years like that. 😊
Ceramic coating is very expensive, man. I can probably buy new panels for the bike for that money.
Looks extremely good!!
Thank you, Dave.

#Guruji of #bike
Hahahaha. Not really.
hey man you make great motovlogs but be regular wanna see more of your videos
Hello Aryan. Won't be possible for me to make frequent vlogs. Work keeps me very occupied.
Hey Buddy, thank you so much for this video. I remember requesting for this video just a few days back and finally here it is. I must say, the bike looks "Menacing" in a more macho sense :)
Like I mentioned earlier, I am definitely getting the tank middle strip & the plastic panels around the console carbon wrapped for sure. But not sure where to get it done in Bangalore. Also, access to the panel on the tank looks cumbersome and unnecessarily tedious. So, yeah will have to get it done by someone skilled as well who can put it back again in one piece.
Also, good luck on your other modifications pertaining to engine, ECU, USD forks and also the rear Ohlins. Would love to keep watching your hard work buddy. Enjoy & Ride safe..
Thanks brother. Yes, get work done by someone who knows their way around this bike and have done it before. I just hope all this hard work pays off and this bike becomes track ready soon.
Great set of videos. Watched them all, very insightful too. Keep posting, also when can you make a Q&A video ?
Hi Dheeraj. Thanks for the encouraging words. Why don't you ask me whatever doubts you have, and I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities. Cheers.
@@abhinavbhatt
Your Modifications
(Please excuse if I get them wrong)
Master Brake Cylinder
Brake line (Pulsar 220's)
Brembo brake pads
Radiator grill
Daytona exhaust
Stickier rubber (Metzelers)
No rear footpegs
I wanted to know if I can do all those mods on my bike too ?
I own a Yamaha YZF R15S
(Mainly the brake setup and mods regarding brakes)
Yes, of course. Why not. In fact, all these mods paid off this Sunday. A dog came in the middle of the road from nowhere while I was overtaking a car at high speed. I was barely 10-20 metres from the dog when I slammed the front brake and the bike stoppied and halted a few feet from it. Definitely saved the life of the dog and mine. All the money I spent I have already earned back.
I have more brake updates planned. I have a 300 mm petal disc and a four piston front brake caliper that will go on the bike next. That's should complete my braking set up.
@@abhinavbhatt Glad that dog is safe and so are you.
And woah, a 300mm disk with four piston calipers 👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah man. Stopping power always more important than BHP for me.
You need more subscribers man.
It's cool. As long as the right audience is watching, numbers don't matter. Cheers
Loved the way how you explain us😊, jst suscriber after watching all your videos
Thanks, Kapil :)
Very nice of u to give credit to sachin for all the hardwork he put in... Btw i think i saw u 2 weeks back on gfr on a sunday morning... Ur bike is very easily recognizable with the golden alloys n dat loud ass exhaust 😂
Hi Abhishek. Yes, it was important for me to give Sachin a minute to speak at least. These guys are the people who go unnoticed. They toil hard every day for very little. It is just fair that they get their exposure. And yeah, I frequent GFR every other Sunday morning. If not on this bike, then on my other loud ass bike. A Triumph Street Triple 675 with a Project SC GPM 2 exhaust. Next time, wave. I'll stop for a chat. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt sure
finally u did it what is was asking 👍👍👍✌️✌️
And more shall come, soon. Cheers
Wish you a very happy New Year🙋🏻♂️
And please make some more videos
Happy New Year to you too, brother. I've half made my Interceptor 650 delivery video. Will shoot the rest of it tomorrow and edit. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt Thanks bro, You are my favourite Biker and my favourite CZcamsr.✌✌👌👌👌🤗😊
🙏
man behind that star
Must always appreciate the people who do the hard work. I had an idea, Sachin gave it life. Respect for the guy.
Wrap it all carbon with red accents! Would look dope!!
Interesting.
Beautiful indeed!
Thank you, Faizu :)
Hey man, you’ve got some pretty amazing content
I’m literally coming to your channel everyday to see if you’ve put a new video. Work life seems to be hard.
Do upload whenever possible 🤙🏻
Cheers
Thanks man. Yeah, am pretty caught up these days. I need to start editing my tail tidy video. That should be out in a week or so. Wish I had a bit more time to make some videos. Such encouragement keeps me pumped up for it :)
Abhinav Bhatt anytime :’)
Saw your insta, seems like you’ve got a few accessories
Really excited for them
Yeah. Will install them soon.
i need it too on my r15v2 to cover up scratches, interesting video 👍 keep doing it
Thanks man.
dude im user R15vva/v3 from indonesia ,, nice to meet you
Nice to meet you too :)
Abhinav bhai finally buy r15v3 red colour after see all your review .. & vedios .
Congratulations :)
@@abhinavbhatt thankx bhai
Most welcome.
Looks nice, gives the bike the touch from Red and grey that this colour lacked. Show us how the headlight looks after tint
Thanks man. The headlights are pretty much useless after tinting.
@@abhinavbhatt ohh, still would love to see it in upcoming videos
Sure. Why not.
That wrap costs 15 rs per sq ft .in mumbai n he is charging 4000..... I tried putting it up on my helmet wasted 5 sqft bt learned it...its nt that difficult....
If u add a winglet to ur bike... It will lit🔥 and u can also add the mirrors with indicators... It will help to look more premium... Cheers bro
Let's see man. Going to Thailand next week to buy parts. Will check everything out there. Cheers
Good luck my bro💪
Thanks man :)
your r15 looking like Yamaha r1m
Thank you so much bro , this video was needed...
Most welcome, Aryan.
Nicely done Brother, Ur V3 looks Awesome .. ✌🏾
Any idea what TRIP F is !?
My v3 completed 1200km, this is the first time I see the trip f indication.
Thanks Karti. And no, I have not seen a Trip F so far.
Trip for reserve fuel.
Its looking very great
Thank you, Shaad :)
@@abhinavbhatt ur most welcome sir
Thanks bhai
Love u for making this video
Most welcome, Pallab.
4000 is a big amount for this wrapping.
I did on my r15v3.
It costs me around 120rs.(60rs/metre)
I bought this carbon wrap sheet from nai wala. And wrapped myself. Easy task.
It came up to be 4,000 since I got it wrapped twice. Actually, three times. For all that I did, if it fits right in the first go, it will be about Rs 2,000. I most certainly wouldn't have been able to do it on my own. Why don't you share some videos of your work. I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from it. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt
Sure i will on sunday??
Cool.
looks so mean now.loved the video, but 2000 is quite expensive IMO
here it could have been done in around 800 to 1000 for that work but i live in chandigarh.so maybe its expensive there.
Thanks man. Well, the work was very intricate. All the wrapping on all the black panels. It took him an entire day, so I felt it was worth it. And that's what matters at the end of the day, right :)
yah that's right :D .
Try jheel... Waha sasta h,
Great channel man!!btw glossy carbon fibre would have looked even more sexier
Couldn't find it, Anant. Maybe in future...
@@abhinavbhatt keep up the good work!
Thank you
It's been really long , since your last video either wAys bike looks good
Hi Sujith. I barely get any time to ride. So I try to edit one video every week. Sometimes, one video every fortnight. But I try and give informative content :)
Abhinav Bhatt I like your videos , that's why the demand😂 otherwise kudoos to you
Hahahahah. I can understand.
Kindly make a video on the modifications done on your bike.
Sure. Will try to.
Great video! Awesome music :P
Thank you, Ms Dey.
Finally wrapping video came up... Thanks bro..
Most welcome, Jitender. More videos will come soon.
@@abhinavbhatt yaar but front phele Wala hi sahi tha as per my opinion.. baki it's ur bike u can do whatever u want...😉
I like this slightly better. In person, it looks like a black python/shark from the front now :)
They should consider a about maintaining their work space more clean and tidy
Yeah. That's something they need to work on.
Thanks to the video which I was waiting to see for a very long time✌️
Looks great 😍😍
Think so u haven't bought any copy right© to this design😂😂✌️💪 coz am gonna replicate this in mine too....😍😍
Once again thanks for the video
Hahahahah. That's very flattering, Vignesh. Please, by all means :)
N one more thing from where u have got the led indicators??
And how to fix it since the hole is large in bike??
Plzz make a short video on it
The LED indicators are KTM/Bajaj. Got them from Karol Bagh in Delhi. I'll make a video on how to fit them soon. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt thank u
Hey Abhinav, how r you? I had the similar carbon fiber finish on my Apache with 13 written on top of it in yellow. It looked killer IMO just like ur R15 is looking.
Hi Kunal. I'm good. Didn't Apache also come with plastic in carbon fibre finish?
Newer generation Apache had some carbon fibre plastic near the tank but not on the head.
Oh, okay.
ur vedioes r crzy bro....😍
Thanks
Awesome!!!
Heyy, where have you been it’s been like a month since you’ve uploaded a video. I remember you saying that you’re gonna change the ecu of your bike when is that video coming up? can’t wait for it! I really love your channel you give alot of information! I have a question I’m 17 now and have planned to get this on my 18th birthday I’ve done alot of research on this bike but just wanted to know from you is there anything that I’ll regret...alot of people have been complaining about the plastic is it really that low quality?
Waiting for the reply! Hope you hit a million soon!🖤
Hello Saif. I have been extremely occupied with work and that is why I have not been able to make time for videos. But I will soon. Don't worry about plastics, etc. It is a non-issue. Quality of parts is good enough. Just enjoy the bike when you get it. Cheers
Thank you!!
Can you please make a video on and about the cowl for pillion seat. If you can, then please make one. Or, if you give me a link, from where I can buy one in India, I'll be grateful
A lot cheaper than places in UK that do wraps... I think you should try spraying clear coat over the carbon wrapped pieces, then you would get that shiny CF look as on Paganis, etc... But liked it anyway
Hi Prakash. I actually prefer the matte finish. Once this wrap starts to come off, I will go in for a 3M carbon fibre wrap that is glossy. Should get that shiny CF finish then. And I love Paganis. Have a soft spot for the Zonda R ever since I drove it in Gran Turismo. Think I am getting that itch back to build another sim set up. Maybe a direct drive wheel this time with a proper chassis, shifter, load cell pedals and hand brake.
Hey Abhinav Nice wrapping
Thanks, Ratna :)
Aftermarket Brake & clutche levers along with USD fork and with a rear seat cowl would give the bike more agressive look...
Yeah. However, difficult to source. Believe me, I tried.
@@abhinavbhatt the only way to get it is to import it from Indonesia but the custom duty charges will costs an absurdly high amount for the usd forks.. so i think it would even look great with aftermarket adjustable matte grey, blue or black levers...
I tried to get USD forks from Thailand. Had gone there to buy them, but it didn't work out. Remember, you will also have to change the front mudguard, upper and lower clamp, clip on bars.
@@abhinavbhatt yes that's another headache :P
Yup. Absolutely.
Whoaaa, i think indian made used USD Shock like indonesian made,
Maybe glossy carbon wrap will look more amazing
Yeah. I think so.
@@abhinavbhatt lol you replied very fast😂
Btw sir can you tell me about your macwheels paint cost and process?
Local Karol Bagh market. Rs 2000.
cool vid!
Thanks, Tony.
nice video bro.
Thanks buddy.
Sir plz made a video on golden alloy rims
I'll try, Tushar. Cheers
Where are u bro....~???
Missing u a lot...
I'll make a video soon. Was busy with work.
Also can you make a video about the ergonomics of the bike?
Thanks bhai.✌🏼✌🏼👋🏻👋🏻
Awesome vdo💥✌️
Thanks buddy :)
broo where are u. missing u. jaldii aajaooo
Soon.
bro atleast upload a video weekly. not an order bt a sincere request
I wish bro. Time hi nahi hai. Even if I can a single video in two weeks, I would consider it a decent pace for me.
I think the front blue and black with carbon fibre looked better ☹️
It was nice. But I prefer this :)
you can take off the tank cover without remove tank cap bro.
Thanks
Stumbled up on this video half a year too late. Couldn't help but notice he's stretching the vinyl way too much, this results in bad adhesion and the possibility of vinyl shrinking over time. Over excessive use of heat gun doesn't help either. Looks like he only cares about how many wraps he can do in an amount of time. Hence I wrap small parts of my bike myself. C K Wraps, his channel is very informative and I love taking DIY crafts. Good luck.
Sure thing, Sumit. I'll look into it.
Hi bhai. Just put one review on your bike a close look after wrapping. Compare stock and modified bro.why you are not uploading a new video. Ok tc bhai.
I don't have a stock bike to compare it to. I'll try to shoot a video soon. I generally only do a video when I have something to show. So, nothing new as of now.
Bro y don't u put another disk brake in the front...it will look like an actual super bike
Naah. With my braking set up, I wouldn't need it. Also, I don't want to increase weight unnecessarily.
Dude you just got looted, the wrap that he installed costs only 15-25 bucks per square foot. The brand is Oracle. You do the math and know for yourself how much has he costed you for the labour.
Doing what you were meant to do :)
Waiting for the USD fork video...hw it gonna be??
That video can take upto a month to do. I am going to Thailand next week to get them. Cheers
Sir there is a request from my side if u can make a detailed comparison video of rc200 and the yamaha r15 coz im very confused with both of them and i know u will make a very great video
Hello Shaad. I really want to do that video, but none of my friends have a Pulsar RS200. As soon as I do, I'll try to make a video. In the meanwhile, you can watch Autocar's review comparing both the bikes. It is a good watch and very informative. Cheers
@@abhinavbhatt sir r15 vs the rc200 not the rs 200 actually i wanted to know that how much the engine is capable to give performance by remapping (of both the bikes) or else just make a video of what will be the performance on r15 v3 by remapping and all the mods
@@abhinavbhatt hey bro, my frnd recently purchased rs200 bs4 2018 red . If u want I can get it arranged for u for a comparison vlog.
Sure man. Why not. Thanks so much.
I think you should've ordered the international version of R15 v3.
No need. We will take this bike beyond that one :)
smart reply abhinav
Dear bro
I need Pulser F250 headlight modeling to 3 eye
Where I can made custom visor with head light
in indonedia r15 v3 have usd shock in the front not just ordinary telescopic:v
Bro sir tank par aur handle par and interior par kitni charge Lete hai
Dekho, maine saare wrap ka 2,000 diya tha. To sirf this much would be about 1000. I think. Why don't you call Sachin. He'll give you a better idea.
Try to put powertronics on ur r15 no one did this in india you try to do ull be the 1st one ☝️ and give us review how is bike performing
Not Powertronics, but I am getting an ECU from Indonesia. Has been stuck in customs for a while. Should give enough performance gain.
I’m waiting for u vlog bro
Bro if u can than try to do dyno test after adding ur performance ecu so everyone will know many bhp gain
No dyno around but yes, that's on my agenda. Cheers
Please put a link for the 3M carbon wrap, from where can we buy this wrap
bro waiting for you're new videos. jaldi jaldi upload kariyee na bhai
Dost, kaam mein bahut busy hu. Thoda time lagega for new videos. Sorry.
np bhaiya. par eagerly waiting . aapki english bahot achi lagti hai
Thank you :)
Would love to know if the wrap will not come off again over to a especially near the gills?
I think in time it will. What can be done though is to secure it from inside by applying a thin strip of black electrical tape.
Great videos and have become a sub because your videos seem more down to earth than other moto vloggers, please keep up the good work. So I am confused on getting a new bike and thought of getting your opinion too. I have been a fan of Royal Enfield fan and have Thunderbird 500 back home... now I have joined job in Bangalore so was wondering to get a bike here, so I was thinking to get The Royal Enfield Himalayan BS4 as it felt different from other bikes in Royal Enfield due to low vibrations and cornering, also wanted to try the adventure types of bikes and this was the cheapest option to get into one. But soon I see they have the Interceptor and Continental GT 650 to be released soon... so *my question is should I get the the Himalayan right now or should I wait and get the 650 later? Just what you feel about the 650 from leaked and official videos and images.* I would be glad to get your answer also it would maybe be a good video Idea. I am a tall guy 6ft 4in btw and have plans to get a Harley Sportster Roadster in an year or two. :) thanks
Hi Pallava. Thank you for the kind words. Well, how urgently do you have to buy the bike? The 650 Himalayan is a year away at the very minimum. If you want a bike that would be comfortable for your size, why don't you look at a used Ninja 650. I reckon it should be about 3 lakhs max. And the engine is indestructible. It would take you wherever you want, and in relative comfort too. Or just wait for the 650cc Royal Enfield Interceptor. However, I am not sure how good the quality of that bike would be. I want to also recommend the BMW GS310 if you can stretch that far. No-nonsense bike that is built to last. And honestly, instead of a Harley, look at a Tiger 800. Would serve you well.
Oh I thought interceptor is gonna be released in November or December. But I can't wait for an year long. Also thanks for your advice on Tiger 800 looks great and would drive well too being a bike from Triumph but I never had a Adventure bike so I have to see if I like adventure bikes before changing my mind from Harley Sportster Roadster 1200 that being a sport cruiser. Personally I took test ride of of 750s and Iron 883 and 1200 but 750 did not seem like authentic Harley also too small for my body proportion. Personally if I have to get a cruiser from Triumph in place of Roadster 1200 it would be Bonneville Speedmaster. Also for your input on Ninja being a sports bike I don't know how easy it would be on Indian Roads. This here is gonna be my 4th bike as I had Karizma R, Thunderbird 500 and CBZ 150.
I think I gave you the wrong idea. The Interceptor will release around November. I was talking about the Himalayan 650. That is at least a year away. And don't worry about the Ninja 650. It is an easy bike for Indian conditions. And I would still consider you going in for an ADV instead of a cruiser. I've ridden all Triumphs and even own a Street Triple 675. Trust me, you'll enjoy the Tiger more than other bikes. Try taking test rides. Cheers
Thank you soo much for your time and yeah I have seen your Triumph street 675 video it was really good test as you tested it directly and while riding gave your opinion about it without any script. And yeah I will go for Adv if I get and like the Himalyan. The 310gs from BMW is attractive but I will go in those foreign brands like those for a powerful bike maybe the Tiger 1200 or BMW R1200GS but I wanna try to know what an Adv really is before it. Having personally Karizma Thunderbird and CBZ, cruiser became my favourite going long distances so was leaning towards Harley. Thank you soo much for your time and Ride safe. Peace ✌
You are most welcome. If you do get a big ADV, don't get the 1200. 800 more than adequate for all our conditions. Nice chatting with you. Cheers
Hi abhinav i am also a fellow bike enthusiast who owns ns200..i live in east delhi
Want to meet you and discuss modifications of bikes 😊
Sure man. I'll let you know one of these Sundays when I ride.
nice video
